Neuromuscular Therapy focuses on the treatment of trigger points. They are called trigger points because they refer pain to another part of the body. Trigger points are painful areas located within taut bands of muscle and are treated primarily with the application of sustained, usually static pressure that can vary from very light to heavy depending on the stage of development of the trigger point. Through the softening of trigger points and action release therapy, NMT aims to reduce chronic pain, increase range of motion, and correct postural distortions.
